For Parks & Recreation
Built for the way public projects actually work.
Procurement, funding, and compliance for public projects.
Competitive solicitation, cooperative purchasing, or as a subcontractor on your GC's package. We've worked all three. The guides below explain when each one makes sense and what it does to your timeline.
More than one way to buy.
Most departments assume a playground has to go out to bid. Often it does — but not always. Competitive solicitation, cooperative purchasing, and riding a general contractor's package are all legitimate paths, and which one fits depends on your purchasing policy, your threshold, and your funding source.
How each purchasing path worksWhat parks departments ask us for.

Delivering the park through a general contractor? The GC resource hub has our subcontractor packet, insurance documentation, and scope language.
Looking for credentials, cooperative contract details, and completed municipal projects? See Parks & Recreation.
Funding programs open and close on their own schedule, and pass-through rules vary by state. Every funding resource on this page carries a “verified as of” date at the top. If you're reading one that's more than six months old, confirm the program is still live before you build a budget around it — and tell us if you find something out of date.
Where We Work
Procurement rules, grant programs, and prevailing wage requirements all change at the state line. Start with your state.
